Abstract
The Darfur conflict is often viewed as an ethnic conflict between Arabs against Africans or farmers and nomads; a conflict spurred by environmental scarcity; or a conflict between the marginalized against those in power. This chapter contributes to a deeper understanding of the political dynamics in the Darfur conflict, and to ongoing conflict resolution efforts in the region, arguing that the Darfur conflict is borne out of the “Politicization of Islam” in the region. Political Islamic movements in Sudan are driven by an ideology that upholds the principles of “God governance” and presents Islam as the solution to a fractured and corrupt state. The chapter therefore asks how Political Islam has come to cause conflict, and the movement has changed the political dynamics in the country. This question raises other questions about the weakening of traditional, educational, economic, and social systems and how this weakening is intertwined with the state.
